Dumb Lyrics

Someone brought this to my attention a while ago, and I heard it at work the other day so I figured I would say something. Here are the lyrics to the number 1 song for three weeks in 1973 (thanks wikipedia) "You're So Vain," by Carly Simon.

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Ok so even though wikipedia tells me that she says it was about "many vain men I've known in my life," I still cant get around the fact that these are the dumbest lyrics of all time. The song IS about them. The song could just as easily say, "You're so dumb, or skinny, swell, great, one legged...you probably think this song is about you." It would still be about that person, or even that group of people. Yea....dumb....

Thats all, nothing great today.

Also, I like to imagine that this is added to the end of the Happy Birthday song. Just think about how terrible that would make everyone feel on thier birthday,

"Happy Biiiiirthday dear Dreeeeeew,
Happpppppy Biiiiirthday cuz,
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you..."
